From prom night to your wedding day, Everything Formals loves being part of your most important events. We want to help you look and feel your absolute best. That is why we offer a return policy you will not find anywhere else. Most special occasion retailers do not accept returns, but Everything Formals is different. We are available to assist you with either a return for a store credit or an exchange.

Exclusions:

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any returns from our bridal collections, special or custom orders, undergarments, body shapers, swimsuits or clearance/sale items.

We know your bridal dress is one of the most important garments you will ever purchase. Our bridal collections, along with all custom orders, are manufactured specifically for you. Since we cannot accept returns or exchanges on these items, we recommend that you carefully review the style, size, color and specifications before completing your order.

Qualifications:

At Everything Formals we offer the highest quality dresses at the best prices. In order to maintain that level of excellence we can only accept returns and exchanges of unworn items in pristine condition. All items must be unwashed with the original tags attached. In addition, the original garment bag must be included with the returned item. Any returned item that appears to have been altered, damaged, steamed or worn will not be accepted.

Store Credit/Exchange Eligibility:

Is my item not any of the following: bridal collection, special or custom orders, undergarments, body shapers, swimsuits or clearance/sale items?

Was my item received within the past 3 days?

Is my item not washed, worn, altered, or steamed?

Does my item still have all tags attached?

Do I have all original packaging to return with my item?

If you have answered yes to all 5 questions, you are eligible for a store credit/exchange and you may request an RA#.

Options:

At Everything Formals we love options. That is why we offer dozens of fabulous designers, hundreds of exquisite dresses and two options for returns. Just choose to exchange or return for a store credit and follow the simple instructions below.

Return for Exchange:

Have your eye on a different stunning dress? Contact us by chat, email or phone within three (3) days of receiving your purchase and tell us the designer, style, size and color of the new item you would prefer. We will also need the date you wish to wear the dress so that we can ensure it gets to you on time.

We will provide you with a Return Authorization Number (RA#). Write this number on the outside of the box with your return and ship it back to us, postmarked within three (3) days of receiving your RA#. Please use whichever shipping carrier you prefer; however, make certain that you insure the package and send it “signature required.” Once the item is received and passes inspection, Everything Formals will ship your new item(s) to you.

A 10% restocking fee will be applied to the exchange amount for all returns. In addition, for domestic customers who received free shipping, a $10 shipping fee will be deducted from the total exchange amount. However, you will still be eligible for free standard shipping on any new order over $100 (excluding clearance/sale items). International customers will be responsible for all taxes, duties and customs fees.

Once your exchange is completed, any remaining balance will be converted to store credit. Since our store credit never expires, purchasing your next special occasion dress will be even sweeter!

Return for Store Credit:

Not sure which glamorous Everything Formals dress is your perfect match? Do not worry, just complete your exchange for store credit and it will be there waiting for you when you are ready. We will issue your credit as soon as your return is received and passes inspection.

Within three (3) days of receiving your original order, contact us by chat, phone or email. We will provide you with a Return Authorization Number (RA#).

You can use your store credit by accessing your account online, or by phone or via chat as long as you provide us with your previous order number. Best of all, your store credit will never expire; however, we believe it will be difficult for you to resist utilizing your store credit on another fabulous Everything Formals item.

Choosing Your Size:

Even with an excellent return policy such as ours, we know you would rather receive a dress that fits like a dream, the first time. Special occasion dresses vary in size according to the designer. The perfect fit for you might not be the same as your typical clothing or dress size. That is why we provide easy-to-read sizing charts for each and every dress collection. Just click the “What’s My Size?” link next to the size option, enter your measurements, and based on your entries we will recommend the best size for you.

Special Notes:

Return Authorization Numbers (RA#) are required for both exchanges and store credit. Any packages received without a RA# will be subject to a 50% restocking fee or subject to refusal.
